Set start directory for "choose file"

[TheMacTech]

I want to use the “choose file” to have the user select a file, but I would like the file navigation window to start in a specific folder, how do I set that?

Thanks

Here are the options from the Standard Additions dictionary.

set theResult to choose file with prompt unicode text ¬
of type {unicode text, …} ¬
default location alias ¬
invisibles boolean ¬
multiple selections allowed boolean ¬
showing package contents boolean

set default_location to alias (path to desktop as Unicode text)

set theResult to choose file with prompt ¬
	"Choose a file" default location default_location

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Manuel,

if you take a look in the dictionary of Standard Additions,
you will find a default location alias parameter
